Practical Tips to Up Your Game

Want to improve your serve without spending hours at the gym? Try the “toss‑and‑pause” drill – toss the ball, pause for two seconds, then hit. This simple routine builds timing and reduces rushed swings. For footwork, set up four cones in a square and shuffle side‑to‑side for 30 seconds; repeat three times and you’ll feel quicker on the baseline. Remember, consistency beats power when you’re learning.

Equipment matters too. Most beginners think a pricey racquet guarantees success, but a mid‑range model with a 100‑square‑inch head offers more forgiveness. Add a vibration‑dampening grip if your arm hurts after long practice sessions. And don’t overlook string tension – lower tension gives more power, higher tension adds control. Experiment before you buy.
